Achievement PIG #25
The Achievement Hunter team has posted Achievement HORSE #25 - it's just PIG this week, because they're really really busy right now, but in general they're happier even when they die. Go watch! Thanks, ZZoMBiE13. (Louis Wu 21:36:05 UTC) (permalink)
tranQ and Friends 3 - A Community Montage
I go and I say I won't get behind on Bungie Comm Chatter offerings, and then I almost miss today's. Goodness. Swing by for a Halo 3/Reach community montage from tranQ and Friends - seven minutes of mellow music and quick-cut editing. (Louis Wu 20:52:13 UTC) (permalink)
Anoj's Reach Top 10 Kills, Ep 22 - Unusual Kills
GHOSTKILL let us know about Anoj's latest Halo: Reach Top 10 vid - this one is all about Unusual Kills. And some are very, very unusual indeed! (There's also an Honorable Mentions vid, if you simply can't get enough.) (Louis Wu 20:21:31 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu: Two Birds One Stone
FyreWulff sent us a note about a new Fire Team Zulu challenge - we missed it. Take it out on the Covenant! Two Birds, One Stone gives you the opportunity to snag a brand-new achievement on the FTZ site - "Mirror, Mirror" is unlocked when you complete the FTZ challenge on the same day that a matching challenge is up on Bungie.net. LD Winter is live until 3am PST tomorrow morning - so get to work! (Louis Wu 19:57:45 UTC) (permalink)
Professor Plum Avoids the Timmies
DHalo dug up a pretty interesting interview with Mrs Doublefire, over at 2old2play - this was published last September, but it's the first I'm hearing about it. Mrs Doublefire is a name that might be familiar to some - he was a major player in the Halo PC building community, and later worked for Bungie as an environment artist on Halo 3 and Reach. It's a fascinating discussion explaining how he got hired (through a contract agency), how Halo 3 would have been different without him, and more. (Did you know that Corvette was the geometry they used to make the 'Deliver Hope' trailer? I can see it now, but I certainly didn't know it before.) Go read! (Louis Wu 18:56:50 UTC) (permalink)
Fixing Continuity, Retroactively
Cody Miller has decided to put together a list of changes that would need to be made to correct the continuity breaks that Reach introduced into the Halo universe. It's a pretty small list. Go see if you agree with it! Update: Oops, I read the post carelessly. Cody didn't write this - he simply brought it to us. The author is William Swartzendruber. (Louis Wu 18:24:45 UTC) (permalink)
20 Questions: GodlyPerfection
Willy let us know that he's put up a new 20 Questions interview on CE United - this one is with GodlyPerfection, probably best known for his Forge Lessons. Go give it a read! (Louis Wu 18:20:31 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday's Comm Chatter Goodies
We missed yesterday's posts at Bungie's Comm Chatter - urk's back in town and updating again! Here's what you'll find if you mosey on over:
- A Minecraft user (and his friends) built a huge recreation of a UNSC Frigate - then made an exhaustive video showing you the details.
- Gamers Outreach Foundation has teamed up with The Game Fanatics to raise money to buy a portable gaming kiosk that will be donated to the Dallas VAMC. Swing by their site for more details!
We'll try not to get behind again. (Louis Wu 15:27:28 UTC) (permalink)
Before They Were Famous: Bungie
INSANEdrive noticed a little retrospective on Bungie's early days over at Kotaku - if you weren't around in the early 90s, you might have missed this stuff! Go see where they came from. (Louis Wu 15:06:33 UTC) (permalink)
Frostbite Chapter 5 (and 4)
AlphaGamma stopped by to let us know that Frostbite Chapter 5 is now live. (The last one we mentioned was Chapter 3, back on April 2 - you can find a link for Chapter 4 in his post, as well.) Nice work! (Louis Wu 15:03:45 UTC) (permalink)
FB Ninja FB Montage
NeoGAF's Booshka pointed out a montage from Ninja, a current player on Final Boss - the man is frighteningly accurate with a sniper rifle. (That's not to say he's a slouch with ANY other weapon.) Gameplay, in general, is over the top. (That's a good thing.) Go watch. (Louis Wu 15:00:21 UTC) (permalink)
Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals
SonGoharotto stepped up the pace a bit on his rewrite of the Halo storyline - Two Betrayals is live a scant three days after The Library. Reactions continue to be positive - go check it out! (Louis Wu 14:51:39 UTC) (permalink)
